PST Migration With Enterprise Vault 8.0: Part 1 - Solution Overview

Executive Summary

This whitepaper provides a high-level overview of the PST problem, the issues with PST migration, and how the PST migration tools available in Enterprise Vault can solve them. PST files (also known as Personal Folders or Outlook data files) were not designed to handle the rigorous demands of today's large-scale corporate email requirements. However, many companies allow users to move email from Exchange into PST files for retention. Ultimately, these files create more problems than they solve and are one of the main reasons why organizations eventually seek an enterprise archiving solution.
